Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not included in your gluten-free flour blend)
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant yeast, salt, and xanthan gum (if using). Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and olive oil until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or mix by hand until a smooth, sticky dough forms. The dough should hold its shape but still be slightly tacky.

Step 4

Lightly grease a bowl with olive oil and transfer the dough into it. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the parchment paper with cornmeal to create a rustic texture on the bottom of the bread.

Step 6

Once risen, divide the dough into two or three equal portions, depending on your desired loaf size. Shape each portion into small loaves or rolls and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Let the shaped dough rest for an additional 15 minutes while the oven preheats to allow a slight second rise.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the loaves are firm and sound hollow when tapped lightly on the bottom.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Serve warm with butter or your favorite dipping oil.
